YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE SPECIAL

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE SPECIAL

Let’s be clear about something: The idea of being special excites almost all of

us—to varying degrees, depending upon the individual. It’s perfectly normal.

Be honest: you know you have fantasised about standing out in certain

situations; played and replayed different scenarios of the same meetings and

interactions in your mind with you as the centre of attention and master of the

perfect dialogue. You have imagined scenarios in which you are born as

somebody blessed with what you believe will make you fulfilled. You have

wished that, one day, everybody around you would tell you that you are

amazing, and treat you like you are amazing. And you have daydreamed

about people you want to impress, please and attract instantly wanting to be

your friend and lover after meeting you because you’re so impressive. Lastly,

who hasn’t dreamt about having millions of dollars!

THIS IS HOW YOU BECOME SPECIAL

According to you, ‘specialness’ is being born special, being told you are

special, being treated like you are special, and being rich. Unfortunately, all

of that has nothing to do with specialness. Let’s first define what specialness

is. During your childhood, there are chances you may have experienced one

of these three things: a) you were told you are special, b) you were told you

are not special, or c) there was no mention of you being special or un-special

at all.

If you were told by your parents that you are special, kindly rinse your

mind of that idea immediately. If you were told you are not special, then, no,

your parents aren’t geniuses; that, too, is completely wrong. Lastly, if there

was no mention of specialness in your household, chances are you are still

seeking it.
